• Play an integral role helping to build and test UAS that support maritime and mobile drone operations, including for domestic security. Work closely with clients and co-workers to identify and resolve issues or improve.
• Contributed to meeting or surpassing expectations of commercial and government clients.
• Praised for communicating effectively with a contract manufacturer and co-workers across expertise areas to understand required improvements to boost system capability for a mobile-tethered sensor platform.
• Enhanced tether management and assisted landing performance of UAS while collaborating withengineers and software developers to achieve speed, torque, and pace objectives.
• Ensured optimal performance of motors after designing and fabricating a powertrain test stand to analyze its thrust and response, as well as hardware, software, and electrical components.
• Chosen to lead multi-day training demonstrations before clients as well as potential partners due to broad, system-level understanding of networking, electronics, power, data, and mechanical design.

Support product development and manufacturing, verify hardware and software quality. Calibrate, test and troubleshoot prototype vehicles and production vehicles preparing for deployment. Write documentation for test protocols, results and reports. Moved up from Field Analyst where I oversaw the placement of Brain Corporation's autonomously driven robotic.

San Diego, California

Research focuses on borrowing ideas from nature to inspire engineered systems with new capabilities. In particular, flexible electronics to replicate natural flexible electrical systems over non uniform shapes. Exploring computational hydrographic methodologies to adhere conductive ink to 3D objects and analyzing performance.

Monrovia, California

My team maintained the hydro-static system on the 70m antennas that currnetly communicate to deep space satellites. Specifically, we redesigned an LVDT sensor system on the 70m antennas at each of the Deep Space Communication Complex where the current transducer became obsolete. Integrating current technology to improve upon previous design despite harsh.

Leading propulsion system design team for aerospace vehicles integrating novel manufacturing techniques for low cost and high reliability tailored to customer needs. Designs include ultra light weight, cost effective, additively manufactured rocket engines. My tasks include designing injector plates and manifold channels and modeling proof of concept.

La Jolla, San Diego

Design and research fully plastic 3D printed rocket engine to be tested using printed ABS as the fuel grain and gaseous oxygen as the oxidizer. This project plans on further exploring the feasibility of additive manufacturing in the aerospace industry as well as testing new boundaries of manufacturing in space.Project Tasks Include:- Research hybrid rocket.

La Jolla, San Diego

As an engine team member, I researched rocket theory through text books and research papers. Using the information I learned as a foundation, I created new designs for our rocket engine by implementing ideas that could not be traditionally manufactured. In specific, I designed injector plate iterations for our 750 pound engine.

Our mission is to promote the exploration and development of space through lowering the cost of entry into orbit. Our student operated organization is working to design, print, and test the viability 3D printed rocket engines. This engine will have the capability to test multiple injector plate, to launch a small payload up to 25,000 ft. We have designed.

Forest Falls, CA

Served as primary adult responsible for campers to assist in camp activities including hiking, swimming, and exploring while maintaining enthusiasm and good team moral. I led small group discussion about healthy living habits, safety, and nature. Each week was spent with a different group of campers having multiple weeks spent with high school campers and.

Using internal software, I collected and compiled photo requests from middle school students into Camera Control Files which were sent to the International Space Station to command an on board camera. This camera allowed students from around the world to take pictures of anywhere anywhere on Earth. I also checked weather patterns to ensure inclement.

Apple Valley, CA

After receiving the high temperature fiber glass reinforced silicone mold, I vacuum sealed the part and curated it while keeping a running record of each part. After parts completed are cured, I inspected and corrected any errors that took place in the fabrication process.
